Deja vu

8/4/2021

Hello dear blog friends. Today I'm responding to author Colleen Chesebro's poetry challenge. She's diverged a bit from the usual weekly pattern and invited us to write a syllabic or a free-style poem.

I wrote Deja Vu a while back and decided to share it today. I hope you enjoy it. But I especially hope you'll join in the challenge. Here goes:

If you'd like to know more about this weekly challenge, Colleen has some great suggestions and resources on her website. You'll also find a growing poetry community.

I hope you're having a wonderful week. All the best!

Deja Vu reminds me of Doppelgangers.
If one is not a twin... it is a little un-nerving to feel like one is seeing oneself without a mirror or feel like we've been someplace that we've never been before.

I've read some Science Fiction where to save the current situation folks traveled to the past. Not an easy thing... But a nice dream, though.

Thank you, Jules. I hadn't thought of that, but you are so right. 😊
